mallet
Gentle striking tool
A mallet is a hammer with a large head, typically made of wood, rubber, or rawhide, used for striking without damaging the surface: She tapped the chisel with a wooden mallet.
Mallets are used in croquet and polo to hit balls, and in music to strike percussion instruments like xylophones and timpani.
